What technology was used in early digital computers for data storage?*Punch cardsHard disk drivesOptical disksMagnetic tape

Which technology was used in the first electronic digital computers instead of transistors?*Magnetic tapeMicroprocessorsVacuum tubesIntegrated circuits

What were the primary tools used for information storage and processing during the Pre-Mechanical Age?

Computer hardware has developed over the years with recent devices providing better and higher storage capacities. From the use of floppy disks, in the early days, for storing information, to the current use of CDs, portable hard disks, and pen drives, information storage capacities have improved with the invention of each new device. These days, floppy disks are seldom used and most of the latest computers do not include floppy drives. Which of the following types of technology is being described in the scenario?Group of answer choicesComplementaryComponentDiscontinuousIncremental

Early computing devices were limited to specific types of computations or tasks that could be implemented by machines. Today's computers are designed to allow for general-purpose tasks and computations. Modern computing devices that depend on general purpose design concepts needed a technology that made these theories practical in the real world. Which of the following technologies made today's computers possible?Select one:a.Algebra and mechanicsb.Calculus and electricityc.Logic and magnetismd.Logic and electronics

Which was the first commercially available microprocessor-based computer?*Altair 8800Commodore PETApple IIIBM PCWhat was the major innovation of the stored-program computer?*The ability to use a single machine to run different programsThe ability to perform complex calculations quicklyThe ability to process data using vacuum tubesThe ability to store data on magnetic tape
